Joshua Jones sums up what I've been thinking about Mullin and his absurd comments about "the smell of war" and other such nonsense.
He has never served in any war zone. He has never been on the receiving end of enemy fire or missile attacks. He has never sacrificed anything for anyone.
Hegseth keeps saying we are untouchable and invincible and we have total dominance so I don’t know how this could happen.

@thetennisletter.bsky.social So if Russian and Belarussian tennis players cannot be identified as representatives of their countries because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine… what about US and Israeli players now?

Marco Rubio ~ "Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics"
America ~ "America is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics"
Do we yet to understand where the US is right now with Trump, Christian Nationalists, Heritage Foundation, the GOP?
Rubio's incompetence is way out over his skis!

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.
That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.
Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.
